Pete, Stan and Jenni,

Thank you for bringing your amazing smiles, talent and energy to our wedding! Everyone had such a great time. I have seen the best of pictures from the dance floor, everyone with huge grins on their faces. Thanks for getting Skyla up on the stage with you!(I think she will be proudly speaking of that moment for many years to come.) It was really special to have Robyn join in and sing our first dance for us, thanks for being so accommodating and making time to practice with her.

Nothing but good things to say to ya'll..............look forward to seeing you again soon!

Much Love,

Heather and Jason Dillavou

Hi there,

I was the photographer at this wedding and I just wanted to say that you guys were awesome!You really got the whole family involved and energized and I think it was a huge benefit to their reception photographs. So thank you for making my job a little easier! Here's a link to the slideshow and blog entry that I did about it: http://www.mauriceramirezphoto.com/page2214.htm?blog=1660
May I get your mailing address? I'll make sure to add you to my list of favorite vendors, for when my clients ask for reception ideas.

Again, great job!-m

Dear Pete (and the band!)

This is an extremely late thank you for all you did to make our wedding so very special. In every compliment we hear, there is always a rave about how "awesome, fun, couldn't stop dancing, fantastic" the band was. You helped create such a fun atmosphere that a simple "thank you" is not enought to express our appreciation. We hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday and maybe we'll catch you on the slopes this season!

All our best wishes!

Kate & Warren Widere

PS - we loved these pictures our photographer captured and wanted to pass a copy to you! Love the one of you and Jenni

Pete,

Thank you so much for being such an awesome part of our wedding. We have recieved so many compliments on the band and I believe it made the whold wedding so much better than it would have been with any other band or DJ. I will recommend the Pete Charles band anytime I get a chance.

Thanks
Shaughn Ryan

Pete (& the Band),

As Shaughn so eloquently communicates below--We LOVED you guys, and will move forward as your biggest fans. Thank you again for all the extra time spent in planning, as well as putting up with all the GUNDER's/RYAN clans :) Hoping you will play at our '10 year Anniversary (7/26/2018?) and send all of your references our way!

We look forward to staying in touch.

Cheers,
Debi "Ryan"

Thank you so much for making our wedding so fun and festive !!!! Your band is very talented, and we really appreciated that you learned 'Real love' and something totally unexpected ....'Long way to go', and that you played some Dead tunes !!

Of course Berry and I and our 'music' friends loved the band, but I was so delighted to hear that even our parents and friends that don't like bluegrass/the dead raved about how great your band is and the wonderful song selection.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work !!

Dear Pete,
People are still raving about you. "Where did you get that band?" "Oh-that's Pete working his magic!" Thank you for your extra effort! Thank you for finding an extra musician- a very fine trombone. Thank you for playing an extra hour in the time warp we call daylight savings. We loved our first dance "Somewhere Beyond the Sea", we loved your performance, we loved your sound. Thank you for putting together a perfect band. In the words of the Grateful Dead, "the music never stopped!"

Pete, just wanted to drop you a note to say how much we enjoyed your music at the Hansen wedding. I am the guy with the daughter who graduated from Cal. My music listening tastes are eclectic as, it would appear, are your performing skills. I would hope to hear you in person again some day soon. Do you have an email list for public performance information?
Also, have you produced any CDs? I would be very interested in CD's of any of your music styles.
Best Regards
Bill

Lake Tahoe Music the Pete Charles Band

2007-12-27T14:10:00.000-08:00

Pete:
Once again thanks for playing at our wedding. People are still talking about how much you guys rocked. You helped make our wedding just _____ fantastic. It was easily the best day of our lives. Maybe we can buy you a beer next time we are down to the lake. If you are looking for any press for clients we both thought that we should try and shoot a few thoughts.
:"We had 175 people that flew from all corners of the country to be at our wedding. We decided, with the most valuable advise from Pete, that we would create a set list that catered to the many diverse groups and ages of people that we knew would be at our wedding. I can not stress enough how incredible the Pete Charles Band was in making the night musically awesome for every person there. Playing Celtic jams for my family, Disco, Bluegrass, light Jazz during dinner, and just rocking the house when the wedding was in full swing. He has the uncanny ability in reading the crowd and adapting different genres of music to the mood. At one point there were over 75 people dancing. THE DANCE FLOOR COULD NOT HOLD US!! If anyone is thinking of a wedding in Lake Tahoe, you must consider the Pete Charles Band. Lastly, I will encore with their encore...Not Fade Away >>> Break on Through>>> Not Fade Away w/ encore Turn on Your Love Light. Simply a magical day for us that the Pete Charles Band had a lot to do with. We cannot thank them enough"

Hi Pete!
I just wanted to say thank you so much, on behalf of me, Chris, and our families, for such a great time at our wedding! You guys were perfect and we all had so much fun! Everyone was commenting on how great you all were...and thanks for accommodating Hal and Sandra. They were pleased they got to partake in the fun! Thanks also for letting me try out my musical talents...after one too many shots, I apparently think I am the world'sgreatest drummer and piano player, but I think I'll stick to teaching! You guys were awesome and I will definitely recommend you anytime!

Thank you Garwoods Wedding

2007-12-27T13:55:00.000-08:00

Pete:
Just wanted to thank you and your band for a wonderful wedding on 9/3 at Gar Woods. You guys were fantabulous and instrumental in creating a fantastically fun event. Wish I had more weddings for you to play but will certainly keep it in mind when other things pop up. Do you ever play at public venues? Do you have a web page schedule? So many people are asking me and saying how good you were. I had several musicians at my event who are a bit on the "snobby" side when it comes to music, they were also quite complementary....just an FYI.
Best Wishes. Michelle Belmonte

Thank You

2007-12-27T13:53:00.000-08:00

Pete, I just want to tell you how much we appreciated your talents and skill in making our daughter's wedding celebration a delightful, fun event. The music before, during and after the ceremony was lovely. Your daughter's violin playing added the perfect touch. And your music "made" the dinner reception party. Your willingness to have the guests sing-a-long, your ability to perform many requests, the variety of musical genres your performed - All worked together to give us a memorable celebration. Blessings to you and your family.
